Summary
- NCIS: Origins took over the former time slot of NCIS: Hawai'i, leaving some fans feeling betrayed by CBS.
- The decision to cancel Hawai'i in favor of a new spinoff has sparked controversy and outrage among loyal viewers.
- Despite the disappointment, some fans are still hopeful for the return of NCIS: Hawai'i and remain skeptical of the new spinoff.
The cancelation of Leroy Jethro Gibbs origin story, NCIS: Hawai'i still holds a special place in the franchise.
A new update only worsens things. Viewers got the impression that NCIS: Hawai'i was canceled ahead of season 4 to make room for a new spinoff series. While the suits at CBS haven't confirmed this directly, the latest update makes it harder to believe that the Hawai'i spinoff wasn't canceled to make room for others. While I trust that CBS had to follow the numbers, I don't know if I agree with sticking to the cancelation of a show that has received such an outcry of following its cancelation. I'm sad for NCIS: Hawai'i fans, especially following the update.
9 Reasons Why NCIS: Hawai'i's Season 3 Cancelation Was A Mistake
The cancelation of NCIS: Hawai'i and ending storylines for characters like Jane Tennant, Sam Hanna, and others was a mistake for the NCIS franchise.
NCIS: Origins Officially Took NCIS: Hawai’i’s Former Time Slot
NCIS: Origins Will Air Mondays At 10 P.M. Eastern
CBS officially released its fall television cycle, and the network giant has NCIS: Origins in the old NCIS: Hawai'i time slot. With such a direct swap, it will be hard for some fans to make peace with the change. Many viewers have already promised to boycott the Origins spinoff lest CBS returns NCIS: Hawai'i. It's now looking less likely than ever that Hawai'i will return, and the same could be said for Hawai'i fans tuning into the new origin story spinoff. I empathize entirely because, while origin stories are interesting, NCIS: Hawai'i offered diversity that no other NCIS spinoff comes close to offering.
NCIS: Origins will air after the flagship NCIS series at 10 p.m. Eastern, the former NCIS: Hawai'i time slot.
Why NCIS: Origins' Scheduling Is So Controversial For The Franchise
Fans Still Mourn The Loss Of NCIS: Hawai'i
The scheduling is controversial because there is an outcry of to save NCIS: Hawai'i, and rather than address their viewer's concerns, CBS is signaling that they are replacing the female-led NCIS series completely. I also understand the network taking advantage of their beloved central character, Jethro Gibbs, and capitalizing on the success of shows like Young Sheldon. However, their dedicated NCIS: Hawai'i fans will interpret this as a direct offense. It's arguably a short-sighted way of building excitement for the new series.
I'm just in awe of how vastly the franchise is departing from its location-based spinoff trend.
In a time when reboots are the norm, I have every confidence that NCIS: Hawai'i will return. I think the series was heading in a promising direction, and I loved Vanessa Lachey as Jane Tennant. At day's end, I'm excited to see the Origins spinoff as well, and that's mostly because the franchise's decision to depart from its location-based spinoff trend is a fascinating gamble. I think the police procedural genre could use a lot of work, so I'm open to what Origins has to offer, but I don't agree that snubbing NCIS: Hawai'i indirectly was an intelligent move.
